Dual wah not working

hello,
I recently finished a dual wah (ibanez wh10 and Escobedo idiot wah) and it does not work. The LED does not light up, the idiot wah gives no sound and the wh10 give a whooshing sound that goes away when the depth knob is turned down all the way and the guitar signal can be heard faintly. I used IvIarks vero layouts for both circuits. I am using a 4pdt switch to switch the wah pot, the inputs and the outputs between the two circuits. I have done no modifications to either circuit. Should my idea to put these two wah circuits in the same enclosure even work?

Thanks

Check out the debugging page link at the top of the page. That should help. It would be best to verify if each circuit works individually removed from wiring it up to the switch. You can use alligator clips to attach to the leads. I would recommend building a test rig with in/out and power jacks to test if a board is working before boxing it up. IMO this will save a lot of hassle. With vero a lot of the time there will be a small sliver of copper still connected at one of the cuts. Make sure the cuts are completely severed. Its a good idea to run a knife between the tracks as well.

Also, how do you have the 4pdt wired up. you should be able to accomplish what you want to do with a 3pdt I would think.
